Dawn burners, cold air, and colour over Ashton Court — yesterday’s Bristol balloon Fiesta media launch delivered the perfect preview of what’s coming this summer.
Bristol’s skyline is nearly ready for lift‑off again.

I wonder how Oggy the giant dragon is getting on. #BristolBalloonFiesta
Two hot air balloons flying against a bright blue sky. One balloon is red with ‘up’ on it and the other is patterned with lots of small coloured balloons.
Up, up and away! 🎈💙😎

Perfect blue skies for the mass ascent this evening. But can I be bothered to cycle down to Long Ashton (and back again) to see it? #bristol #BristolBalloonFiesta
Also for the love of God, please councils when licensing events force the organisers to at least double toilet provision and make sure they are all over the site.
How do we still have these situations at the events in 2025?! Its a disgrace.
#BristolBalloonFiesta
Despite the toilet situation, the PA system at the stage we was near being weak AF and not linked to the main event, no mass accession...
It was a pretty day out, hanging out with friends in a field.
#BristolBalloonFiesta
And so we leave the night glow! Was pretty cool to see even if it was look a wait!
#BristolBalloonFiesta
Fire!
#BristolBalloonFiesta
More night glow ! Could do with repeating the music in this part of the field...
#BristolBalloonFiesta
The night glow has begun, and they do look pretty cool!
#BristolBalloonFiesta
Omg the balloons are inflating! We might get to see more than 2 hot air balloons after all!
The excitement!
#BristolBalloonFiesta
While waiting to see if the night glow actually is going ahead (past schedule 9pm and nothing inflated!) We are treated to people holding their phone flash lights up for a rendition of Sweet Caroline.
#BristolBalloonFiesta
They seem to be getting balloons out again! But they seem to be having trouble inflating... happens to us all.
The giant Panda and small Cow have decided to crack open some more cans while we wait with anticipation.
#BristolBalloonFiesta
A little rave had started on the stage by us after all the excitement of 2 balloons getting inflated...
#BristolBalloonFiesta
They also had the Netflix Wednesday one inflated too which could just about see.
#BristolBalloonFiesta
The Thatchers balloon is alive! Looks a little bouncey in the basket
#BristolBalloonFiesta
More entertainment as we await 2, yes, 2 balloons to inflate.
#BristolBalloonFiesta
After about 5 hours of being there... they actually tried to get a couple of Hot Air Balloons up but the mass accession was cancelled...
#BristolBalloonFiesta
Now a guy rapping about McDonalds... clever use of the McDonalds tune actually.
#BristolBalloonFiesta
A little demonstration of the Hot Air Balloon burner... some people could go get in the basket and meet the pilots
#BristolBalloonFiesta
Live local music to give those festival vibes... #BristolBalloonFiesta
